Try not to be an autist in public.

lol i know this feeling i sometimes drive a town away if its a chain place that has other locations just because its embarressing how much i get the same food multiple times a week and its always the same asshole there judging me with his "lol fatty getting fast food again, huh?"

>>17452881
I was like that until I went full sigma. Now in that situation I'd say "no, I hate it," and really fuck with his mind. Remember that people only think they understand you. They never can, and don't let them convince you that they do.

>>17452881
>Oh ha ha, it's not for me, get it for my gf. She loves it. I bet it is good though.

I kind of like these interactions. It's kind of comfy. I go to my favorite local chinese place weekly. Always get the same thing. They don't even take my name or number anymore. Always have it ready for me right in front, sometimes they throw in some extra egg rolls or something, and the cheery cute girls at the register flirt with me. I love being a regular.

>>17452957
you're a huge loser

Don't care. The prize sucks.

>>17453152
They do. It's funny they all rush up to the counter to talk to me when I go to check out. Kind of cute like little puppies or something.

>>17452881
This board has a strange dichotomy about this.
Almost everybody here is an alcoholic who buys alcohol from the same place every day and accepts this even though they're not proud of it.
But God forbid someone at a restaurant should remember that they really like the salmon last time

>>17453152
Greta is now an of-age CIS alive female.
Heheheh yeeeesss

>>17453252
The only people getting alcohol at the same place every day are the ones with no alternative sources. Don't go to the same place more than three times a week, and keep changing what you get so it looks like you might have some of what you got last time left over. Simple.

>>17453272
>changing what you get so it looks like you might have some of what you got last time left over.
kek i do this too sometimes

>>17453145
I can never figure out chinese restaurant menus they have like 250 things on the menu so I just never go.

>>17453272
I used to work in retail to pay for nursing school.
I assure you they still know.

>Oh nooo the wagie at the counter noticed me
Just how autistic are you niggers? Make a joke or something. >>17452957 wouldn't be a bad idea if you ignored the "badass" sigma male tangent

>>17453272
I have alternate sources, but I only drink Knob Creek and the liquor store down the street from me sells it like $10 cheaper than everyone else. The guy that works there is super tall and jacked, and I think he gives me super stern looks ever since he stopped asking what I want.

i hate any store where its the same person all the time. after a couple times they think youre their buddy now and wanna start chatting you up, but im an anti-social angry at the world autistic shut-in and i dont want any part of your faggot ass normie conservations so fuck off. but im too much of a pussy to let my real feelings out so i have to be like "oh yeah ha ha, good one ha ha yeah... anyway, i gotta get going" and then the whole ride im pissed at myself for even engaging and wish i woulda told him to go to hell i dont wanna talk to your gay ass

>>17452881
What's wrong with you? This isnt a bad thing. I get the same sandwich from the bagel place near my house and they recognize me and instead of being a massive autist im just friendly with the people who work there now

>>17452881

>>17452881
why would you be angry wtf
i'd actually be glad that they remember me because of something i always buy
i used to go to a cafe pre-covid and the staff there wouldn't even ask me what i wanted since they already knew what i would order because i was a regular. sometimes they'd even give me free samples of their food

>>17455440
Why would they bother to give you free samples if you autistically order the same thing every time regardless?

>>17452881
>yeah this sandwich is based
there, solved

>>17455444
Do you actually say based irl?

>>17455443
they try to make new recipes for pastries and shit and usually ask their customers for feedback with the samples. they could just be trying to make me buy their other stuff by giving me small samples as well lol
it was a nice place and i hope they're still open

>>17453145
i'm way too fickle to ever be a regular, i have long bursts of going to the same place over and over and then dropping it once i feel the workers are getting too comfortable with me, i'm not your friend bro dont treat me like one

>>17455451
you don't?

>>17453145
finding a comfy place to be a regular is based

>>17453917
Thats what you get for eating somewhere 4-5 times a week for years.
There is no way this is true

>>17452881
>go to pickup takeout from usual place

>>17453145

I still don't know her name but I know if I say thank you aunty in my shitty chinese she loves it. Love you too aunty.

>>17453272
>The only people getting alcohol at the same place every day are the ones with no alternative sources.

I go to the same liquor store to get the exact same thing, 4 of the cheapest 1.75 liter vodkas. Luckily it lasts a while and they never get to know me. Hell, it seems like they never have the same employees.

On the other hand, I'll see idiots buying their one tiny bottle and having a familiar conversation with the clerks, who are thinking "jesus what an alcoholic". They seem to think I'm throwing a huge party for hundreds of friends. lol.

>>17456072

>>17454373
Where the fuck are you buying your food if beef, onions, rice and eggs costs you $20?

>>17452957
You are getting a lot of hate but it is true I like the way you put it. I suffered a severe head injury a year ago and I kind of lost my filter a bit so now I just lean into the awkwardness and I always win.

>>17453109
>That's cool, anon! What's her name?
Uhh... Errm *visibly sweating* it's Bethmantha

You lika the soup huhh?

>>17453145
I had this top tier Chinese place I used to go to, I assume it was frequented by CCP richkids and retirees. I speak fluent Mandarin which was surprising to them so I had a comfy streak going they started to know me. One day I got drunk at their bar and shit got kinda weird so I will never go back lol.

>>17453252
Because most liquor store owners aren't young people they are usually middle aged men or indian or both. Normie food joints hire qt girls to get tips so it makes incel anons uncomfortable. Like if you doctor was a hot chick or something.

>>17456142
Ok what did you say at the bar, you have to tell us now

>>17455415
You are bad for him

>>17456199
Basically it started after a few bottles of qingdao and a few shots of bai jiu. I started flirting with some white chick who worked there and that got the chinese upset because their work ethic is like slavery. Then when she was dragged away I started making a bunch of innuendos in Chinese to the bartender about her and he kinda laughed nervously about it, then I felt we were bonding so I told him he was my bro and reached over the bar and hugged him. Then the owner came over, she is a sexy Chinese lady in her 30s or early 40s maybe. Anyway this was a phase I was in where I made it my goal to smash Milves, so I said in Chinese: "Now look you are the boss so there is no reason you can't sit and have a chat with me.". I was sort of eye fucking her when I said it. 2 seconds later my check was on the bar and a cab had been called for me, lol good times.

>>17452881
i had a normie coworker who got chik fil a almost every day for lunch. he and the manager were on a first name basis. kek.

>>17456292
Chik fil a is good but normies over do it to the point I get sick whenever I see those bags strewn about the place.

>>17456287
>shit got kinda weird
you mean
>I turn into a creep when I drink, and boy was I drunk

>>17456452
yes

I'm struggling to comprehend what OP found wrong about the cashier saying this. Completely baffling.

>>17456604
some people are just autistic

>>17452927
That feeling is there to prevent you from being a fatty getting fast food multiple times a week. Your conscience knows that what you're doing is bad.

>>17456604
>OP knows he is a socially awkward freak who can't cope with pleasant everyday interactions with other human beings, copes by posting on memeboard

>>17456604
anon is deeply ashamed of his behavior and sees this as being called out for it
anon doesn't realize there's nothing to be ashamed of and that making polite chitchat with customers isn't unusual
anon has brain problems

>>17453917
This did not happen lol

>>17456668
It's completely normal to feel ashamed of yourself if you're buying alcohol or fast food from the same place multiple times a week. We have an alcoholic friend in our group and there's one liquor store in town next to his house. Whenever we go in there with him, the cashier says to him "see you tomorrow" with a shit-eating grin on his face. I assume he must go in there every day. I even feel embarrassed for him, he can't even go to other liquor stores because he's fat, poor, and doesn't have a car. His life is a total mess and he should be ashamed.

>>17456710
well first of all, OP is talking about a sandwich shop.
second of all that cashier's interaction sounds like open antagonism of an alcoholic which is different from inoffensive chitchat
third of all, the cashier in OP sounds almost as autistic as OP asking such a vague question, but the intent sounded reasonable enough
sorry about your friend. alcoholism is horrible.

>>17456287
The best thing to do is simply show back up 3-4 months later, saying mostly nothing but offering a brief apology to those who deserve it. I personally witnessed one of the most egregious displays I’ve ever seen in my lifetime from someone who I thought I knew. Two months and a few “sorrys” and everything was 100% to my complete amazement. It’s really all about the $$$ and dare I say that guy is actually more of a legend now that he’s well behaved.

>>17456094
shut the fuck up you fucking faggot
what would you have said?

>>17456735
Yeah I actually have done this before at other places I have been an asshole at, I get a lot more fistbumps than expected, I think people like a bit of excitement as long as it isn't a recurring thing. A few places I have returned to I will just get a beer and some bar food and leave and they will get confused and ask why I'm leaving so soon and not partying.

>>17454335
you can really pick out the people here who struggle to bring positivity to the table.
>"you really like this sandwich huh?"
>"Yep, you guys make it just right."

>>17456161

Yes, please. My dentists are all hot chicks. Shopping for a dermatologist at the moment.

>>17456879
no I mean like a penis inspecting doctor. Of course everyone wants a hot female dentist boob on their shoulder a few times a year, only they mostly suck. Now I have an old retire colonel as my dentist he just drugs me up good goes in fast and gets the job done.

>>17456890
I'm way more comfortable having a woman inspect my penis than a man.

>>17456890
>penis inspecting doctor
>doesn't want hot chick penis doctor
>wants old man penis doctor
I....I don't know what to say, anon. That's so weird. If I'm paying to have my dingdong checked out I'll take a hot chick in scrubs any day of the week. Get your money's worth. I love a woman in scrubs. Something about weave that knit just doesn't capture.

>>17456862
Dude, being an edgy asshole all the time doesn't make you cool.

>>17456900
well I'm not gay or anything I just feel like a women would make it weird yeah I casually chatting with you now my dick is in your hand but I'm not getting laid? Anyway I feel like a man would know the equipment better.

>>17456907
Saying something false doesn't make it true. I can tell you're the type everyone regards as a dweeb. I'm the guy people come to when they need to get shit done.

>>17456915
My wife always goes to male gynecologists. Sometimes I'm there for the appointment. She's splayed open and men are inspecting her while she chats and laughs and doesn't give a shit. I've learned a lot from that woman. I do the same, but opposite.

>>17456912
They use facial recognition software that connects to other stores.

>>17456919

I work in customer service QA, positive feedback can be just as influencing as negative feedback for business decisions. it's safe to say if you're haunting a place for five years you have something nice to say about them.
how socially malformed are you?

>>17456919
>I can tell you're the type everyone regards as a dweeb. I'm the guy people come to when they need to get shit done.
oh ok I can tell you're the type everyone regards as a socially maladjusted basement dweller, because this reeks of "muh sigma grindset"
stay inside forever, loser.

>>17457056

So it's a good strategy in a cuck's job. OK.

>>17457096

>>17456710
at least he has friends

>>17452881
For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

>>17456935
I see that starbucks uses' AI but nowhere do I see they use facial recognition. and I might have been in a starbucks maybe once in a few years before going there so I wouldn't even be in their directory

>>17456935
>They use facial recognition software that connects to other stores.
what the fuck tell me this is just an american thing

>>17456755
People generally understand that others experience fuck ups, and are generally forgiving as long as the behavior is clearly corrected.

>>17453252
I go to the same liquor store all the time because it's owned by pajeets and i'm half so when I walk in the owners start yelling hi how are you in hindi and we talk and laugh and I leave. He always tries to give me free alcohol drinks as i'm leaving I guess to be nice but I never take anything. He just offers.

>>17457609
when I was going to school in Cali I had this Korean liquor store I would go to. I started bringing my Korean roommate with me on beer runs and once he started talking to the owner he would take us to the back where there was this little gambling room and we would be drunk before even leaving the store. A lot of times we would end up sleeping there for a few hours and drive back to school the next morning hungover with a car full of unopened booze which we would take a swig from in the morning and finish drinking at 4pm later that day. Boy those days were rough on my liver.

Sometimes when I'm feeling depressed and worried that I might be autistic, I just read a thread or to here and I suddenly feel like the most normal and sociable person in the world. This thread has a level of autism that I cannot even begin to comprehend.

>>17453272
Do alcoholics really strategize like this for simple grocery shopping?

>>17458735
I do this

I have about 5 different locations I regularly buy from (top tier liquor store, couple backup liquor stores, and a couple grocery stores)

Then occasionally I'll pick something up from a lower quality store

I usually prefer a higher quality and tasty drink and don't just drink to get drunk, though I drink about 2 bottles of wine a day or equivalent, and make a good salary

>>17456128
>I always win
By being passive aggressive towards anyone who tries to make friendly smalltalk?

>>17453272
Meanwhile I go to the same store every 3 days or so, am on a first name basis with the cashiers, and when one of them commented "you sure drink a lot of beer", I replied with, "I like beer".

>>17452881
>No, my father is dying in the hospital and he asks me to get it for him because her can't leave, I think it's shit personally

>>17453272
The people at the liquor store don't give a fuck about your drinking habits you schizo

>>17458766
Does it really matter if one liquor store finds out that you're an alcoholic? I doubt you'd be their only alcoholic customer

>>17452881
What a waste man.
You're to to the point that you're a known regular, which means they'll likely get your order to you faster, and be more inclined to hook you up with extras and whatnot, and you just throw all that away for literally no reason.

>>17458735
>>17458766
I never saw the point of that.
Like yea, I'm an alcoholic, that's what the large quantities of booze are for.

>>17458808
They do where I live.

>>17458842
I’m convinced that it’s just one dedicated troll continually making these threads, I’m an autist and I can’t imagine never going back to a restaurant because they make small talk

I honestly refuse to believe anyone is so socially nonfunctional that they seriously get upset when an establishment they’ve made themselves a regular at recognizes them as a regular.

>>17452881

I'm a regular at my town's good bar and they all know me by name, I walk in and they fix me the drink I always have before I even ask for it. But somehow being a bar regular is less humiliating than being a restaurant regular.

The cashier's not the problem, you avoiding all semblance of self-awareness is. You want to be a regular at smaller places, they appreciate your business and even cut you favors.

Obviously if you don’t make it perfectly on your first try you should give up cooking. Some things take effort to obtain, if you haven’t figured that out by now you might try the rope.

>>17452881
Don't be a faggot. I'm a cook and I generally like seeing regulars because it means they probably like my cooking. Restaurants as a whole like repeat business because it's what keeps their doors open. If the cashier makes such an inoffensive comment like that they're probably just trying to strike up some small talk to break up the monotony of working an otherwise thankless job.

Known regulars are exploited as known quantities. You think your electricity vendor appreciates you for staying with them for fifteen years? Check out what the competition is charging. Have a look at the offers new customers for your own vendor are getting. Old customers get fleeced.

>>17460507
with smaller restaurants you will definitely get better service, bigger portions, or better food. maybe all 3 if you're really lucky. implying you're a good regular that is

>>17456092
That must be nice to be able to do, but if I wake up in the night feeling slightly less drunk than I went to sleep I will drink any alcohol left in the house even if it's methylated spirits. Then I have to miss a day of work.

Not him, but I live in a town of ~2000 including ~20 family members and word gets around, so unless I want a concerned call from mom it does matter.

Yeah but BOOBA

I miss my old job. I would eat out twice a week and cycle between the best deli owned by chinese nationalist, a great jamican spot and a filipino slop house that still think about all the time. all of those places treated me very well after a time and would constantly give me extras. I think about that filipino sloppa like once a week.

Nobody ever claimed sigmas were chads. Chads are obviously alphas, tied to the pack and never knowing the power of true freedom.
